 | Warwickshire Market Towns Initiative | |

| | | | | |
| Historically, market towns have been at the heart of life in rural England. For centuries, they have acted as focal points for commercial, economic and social activity. However, in the past thirty years, many of these functions have been undermined by social, industrial and agricultural change. |  | |
| In recent years there has been a fresh national focus to revitalise these rural service centres for the wider countryside, in an attempt to reverse some of the decline in market towns. The objective is to bring a new lease of life to Warwickshire's Market towns so that they are better able to provide convenient access to the services and facilities that surrounding rural communities need - retail and professional services, training and jobs, leisure and cultural opportunities. | |
